and in the history Of Washington as
the day upon which the bronze statue
Of Garfield donated by the Army OF
Cumberland was formally presented
TO the people Of the Nation. The day
was a perfect specimen Of Washing.
ton spring weather. At an early
hour in the morning small detach-
ments Of troops, militia and other
organizations that were to participate
in the parade took possession of the
streets, and the music Of bands was
heard in every quarter. At noon the
executive departments were closed
and added their quote to the throngs
on the sidewalks.
The proceedings attending the un
yelling of the statue were interesting
and largely attended. The grafton
was delivered by Gen. ]. W. Keller.
who upon the part of the monume Mt
committee of the Army of the Cum
berland transferred the statue to Gen.
Sheridan, as General of the Army,
and by him it was formally presented
to the President of the United States.
The statue, which is bronze, is the
design of the sculptor Ward, who also
designed the equestrian statue of Gen.
Thomas, in this city. 1t is 10 feet 6
inches in height and represents Gar.
field facing the west, in the act of de,
hvering an address, with his right
hand resting on a column and a man
uscript held in his left. The pose OF
the figure is easy and unconventional.
Incumbent ideal figures at each corn
er of the triangular pedestal represent
the student the warrior and the
statesman, IMPLYING the three epochs
in Gen. Garfield's career.
Bronze tablets above the figures
bear globe, a trumpet and sword
and laurel wreath, inclosiug the
scales of justice. The inscriptions
upon the shaft are placed upon three
sides, as follows: Southwest face,
"James A. Garfield. 1SSl-lSSl :" on
the southeast face, major General
U. S. A, Member of Congress, Senator
and President of the United States of
America" on the north face, Erected
by his Comrades of the Society of the
Army Ofthe Cumberland. Nay l2, 81"
The erection Of the statue was author.
lied at the meeting of the society ut
Chattanooga in 1881. aud nine mem.
bers were appointed to select a design
and superintend its construction. The
committee upon the day Of the unveil-
ing paid over to the sculptor, Mr..
Ward, S56.74S in full settlement of
his claim.

Thus far, Ex-Judge Fisher seems to
be the only Gubernatorial candidate
hailing from Baltimore. There is no
lack Of good democrats in the city.
and if We are to go there for our
standard bearer the claims of all the
availables should be thoroughly can
vassed. Believing in this doctrine,
we think if the party selects a city
man it could choose no stronger and
better candidate than Mr.. Robert
ODER, for we know Of no Baltimorean
whose candidacy would elicit more
genuine enthusiasm in the counties
than would his. Mr.. ODER possesses
Tue Jeffersonian qualifications for the
office and in addition would make a
candidate who would bring out the
full party vote. II the Convention
dominates a city man, We hope that
the mantle will fall upon Robert
ODER.

From the comments of the State
press, it would seem that, thus far,
Hon. Charles B. Roberts has the
best developed Gabernatorial boom.
There will, however, be many changes
between this date and July 27-the
meeting Of the convention-and polit.
zeal prophets will bear in mind that
many a boom that booms to-day, to-
morrow may be dying. and the day
after be dead.

Piedmont Cattle Company.

Wells H. Bates, president of the Pied mont Cattle company, whose range Is located at Martinez, has just returned from a visit there. and informs the JouRSAL-MiNER that, under the super tendency of J. l.. Hall, work of improv- ing the ranch has been progressing very satisfactorily. Twenty-Five miles of cement pipe are being laid, 10 run the waters of Martinez and Antelope creeks on the range. Watering stations along the pipe have been established every three or four miles. Tine old adobe buildings on the ranch have been re- placed by new, substantial frame ones The company has splendid orchard, of which the peach, apricot and fig trees are already bearing, while prunes, ap- ples and other trees will bear in another year or so. A ive-acre tract of splendid alfalfa is also on the ranch. Arrange ments are now being made to have the orchard and alfalfa field watered by sub irrigation. MT. Bates also says that it is the intention of the company, this fall, to largely increase their herd of cattle by placing several hundred head more on the range, among which will be lot of fine thoroughbred bulls. Stock now is in splendid condition and grass is excellent, and there is sn abundance of water on the range.

q Model Ranch.

It was the pleasure recently of the JouRNAL-MINER man to visit the ranch and enjoy the hospitality of the Ari. zona Cattle Company at their head quarters at Fort Rickerson. near Flag staff. The headquarters are very besu- tifully located, in fertile valley, abounding in rich grass, at the south ern base of the San Francisco noun tains. Their range covers an area of thirty by fifteen miles. Grass sll over the portions of the range visited was ex- cellen;, while cattle were all in prime condition. Fort Rickerson Is a regular stockade. built in 1879, by John W, Young. for protection against Indians, and it is said was once the scene of a conflict between the noble red man and its white occupants. Its appearance, however, at present, denotes peace and prosperity, and everything in and around it Is kept in as neat and tidy condition as would meet the require ments of the most exacting housewife; in fact, it could very appropriately be Calltu HiOueA lauCu SAuCc SaptaIu Bulwinkle's death, Chss. c.

Rhodes, . gen. tleman from the east, who we were told represents an interest in the company,
 s also at the ranch and assists. The average citizen of the east, who had ob- tained his impressions of the appear ance and manners of an Arizona cow boy, from the flash literature of the day, would be surprised, probably, on visiting this ranch, and meeting the above named gentlemen, that on the Arizona range he found the politeness and cul- ture of the most polished and refined gentlemen. Visitors are accorded 8 cordial welcome at the ranch, and Fort Rickerson Is one of the points of inter- est which citizens of Flagstaff take pleasure in showing their friends. It is reached by drive of eight miles over a beautiful road and through delightful scenery.

Arizona Lumber Company's Nliil
 Burned.

The JoURNAL-MINER's special tele- graph correspondent, at flagstaff, yes ierday, sent this paper a telegram, sta ting that fire broke out on Saturday night, about o'clock, in the plan ing mill oi the Arizona Lumber Qormerly the Ayer) Company's saw mill, result ing in the total destruction of that prop erty. The mill originally cost $250, ,O0O, and is a total loss. The amount of in- surance is unknown. The fire was be- lieved to have been accidental A large amount of lumber was also destroyed, with the mill, although a heavy rain which had fallen in the afternoon pre- vented the fire from spreading very ex- tensively in the lumber yard. Through the heroic efforts of the mill men the fire was confined to a small area in the i'm immediate vicinity of the mill, and the large buildings containing the offices, store, etc. of the company was saved. A train on the Mineral Belt railroad also did good service in assisting to get cars loaded with lumber out of reach of the fire. The mill will be rebuilt.
